mIRC is a full featured Internet Relay Chat client for Windows that can be used to communicate, share, play or work with others on IRC networks around the world, either in multi-user group conferences or in one-to-one private discussions.

This version of mIRC is primarily a security release. mIRC users are advised to upgrade to this version due to a security issue related to very long nicknames on non-standard servers.

Several other small issues have also been fixed in this release.

Although this is a minor update, it includes important changes and all users are advised to upgrade.
